On the night of the Spring Lantern Festival, Jiang Li saw the long-missed Jih Heng at the entrance of Green Lotus Square in Tongxiang.
An entire year had passed, through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. There had been tears and laughter, and moments of heartache. She had thought there would be no chance to see him again in this lifetime, yet, fortunately, heaven showed mercy, giving lovers another opportunity.
The phrase "regained after loss" was heartwarming to hear, bringing forth a sense of gratitude for the life spared after surviving a calamity.
But after the initial tenderness and excitement had faded, it was time to settle accounts.
In Jiang Li's boudoir at the Xue residence, she unceremoniously drove out all the onlookers who came to spectate. She pushed Jih Heng into her room.
